"I'm HOME!"

Army Specialist Lorne Rizzoto celebrates arriving in his home state of North Carolina with Master Sgt. Debra Leddy, an aeromedical technician who cared for him during a flight from Andrews AFB, Md,. to Pope AFB, N.C. Rizzoto became ill while deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the flight he was quiet and subdued. However, once he looked out the door and saw the welcome to Pope sign...he lit up and said "I'm home!" He requested this photo to remember the moment. Leddy is a Reservist currently serving with the 775th Expeditionary Aeromedical Staging Squadron at Andrews. She is assigned to the 514th Airlift Wing at McGuire AFB, NJ. (U.S. Air Force photo by Lt. Col. Jerry W. Lobb, 908th AW Public Affairs)
